Summary

This study tests a special PET/MRI scan (18F-DOPA) to find tiny, hidden spots in the pancreas that cause severe low blood sugar (hyperinsulinism) in children and adults who don't respond to medication. About 100 participants will get the scan before surgery to see if it can accurately pinpoint these spots, which can then be removed to potentially cure the condition. The goal is to make this advanced imaging more available and improve surgical outcomes.
